WALTER SCOTT ASKS…

KERI RUSSELL The actress, 36, stars as an undercover KGB spy in the 1980s-set drama The Americans (FX, Wednesdays).

You play a spy in the days before the Internet and mobile phones. Could you survive a week without technology? Definitely! I’m never on my cell phone. I don’t even know why I have one. It’s been fun to go back to this period of time. The actors who play my kids had never seen a rotary phone before!

You’ve taken breaks throughout your career.

Q: Does Nicholas Sparks have a say in who is cast in the movie versions of his novels? —Kristy Wall, St. Paul, Minn.

A: “Of course! I’m certainly one of the collaborators on

working hard, but my life outside of my career is equally important to me. Maybe I’m not ambitious enough, but I’m just as interested in my friends and my relationship with my family.

What has been the best change in your life since becoming a mother? [Russell and her husband, Shane Deary, are parents to son River, 5, and daughter Willa, 1.] You instantly become less selfish. You can’t be the biggest person in the world anymore— they are. It really grounds you.

The Notebook, The T N starring Ryan Gosling, is “most llikely li kely to become a classic,” the author says. sic ““I watch A Walk to Remember [starring Mandy

Q: Is Christopher Walken as eccentric in real life as the characters he’s portrayed? —Nathan Rease, Hobbs, N.M. A: “I’ve played a lot of strange, troubled, and sometimes destructive people, but before I got into the movies, I was a singerdancer and did musical comedy,” says the actor, 69. “People get mixed up with the parts I play, but I’m really a very conservative guy. I’ve been married for almost 50 years and I lead a quiet life.” Walken stars in the crime comedy Stand Up Guys, out now.

Q: How is the location for the Super Bowl determined each year? —Mike E., Fredericksburg, Va. A: NFL cities bid to play host. The league’s owners vote on sites (usually at least three years in advance) and base their selection on criteria like stadium quality, guest accommodations, and, to a lesser extent, weather.

New Orleans will host its 10th Super Bowl today, the first since Hurricane Katrina; next year’s game will be held at MetLife Stadium (home to the New York Giants and Jets) in East Rutherford, N.J.

“I had already had a 400-yard game and a 500-yard game so people were really high on me breaking it. But I didn’t pay that much attention because once you do, you start to shy away from what your team goals are.” Fortunately, both team and

HOW WE PICKED THE TEAM: In selecting the All-America Team, PARADE contributor Brian McLaughlin, who covers college recruiting for the Sporting News, considered all-state teams, state player of the year honors, and statistics, as well as his own observations at games. Offensive players needed to show “eye-popping numbers against good competition” during their senior season and to exhibit strong college-level potential, as measured by the interest they’ve had from prominent programs, he says. As for defensive players, McLaughlin says he looked for playmakers who could change games with interceptions, sacks, tackles for loss, or blocked kicks. “They need to have had a big senior year,” he says, “and they need to be headed places.”

SWEET! Ken Hall, a.k.a. the Sugar Land Express, scored 899 points and 127 touchdowns in his record-breaking high school career.

Next stop: Tuscaloosa, where Derrick headed in January to begin training and course work (minus his beloved rottweiler, Milo). He had planned all along to graduate from high school a semester early so that no matter where he went to college, he could get a jump-start on the football playbook and start banking some credit hours. Derrick hopes to play for three seasons before heading to the NFL with a business degree. “I want to make sure I have something I can lean on after football,� he says.

And, oh yes, in the meantime he’d like to be part of a national championship team and maybe even hoist a Heisman. Wouldn’t shock us one little bit.

True or false: It’s smart to stash low-calorie snacks in case you get hungry between meals.

Diet-friendly answer: True. Waiting too many hours to eat sends your blood sugar and energy levels off a cliff, so cravings soar. If you need something between breakfast and lunch, keep it to 100 calories or less (like a stick of low-fat string cheese), suggests Beller. Afternoon snacks can be 150 to 175 calories (like an apple spread with a teaspoon of peanut butter).

True or false: Skipping breakfast is a good way to shave calories off your daily total.

1

It’s important to track your daily intake of: (a) Fiber (b) Carbs (c) Fat (d) All of the above Diet-friendly answer: (a). The majority of weightloss research has found that the exact number of carbohydrate or fat grams you take in isn’t as important as total calories—but tracking fiber could make a big difference, says Biggest Loser dietitian Rachel Beller, R.D., author of the new book Eat to Lose, Eat to Win. That’s because the more fiber you have, the more satisfied and full you feel, and the less you’ll

ultimately eat. Women should aim for 25 grams a day; men need 38.

2

At the grocery store, you should look for foods labeled: (a) Vegan (b) Gluten free (c) Whole grain

Diet-friendly answer: (c). Manufacturers of readymade snacks and sweets often add extra sugar and fat to make gluten-free or vegan foods as tasty as regular versions, says Beller. “Whole grain,” however, generally means that the food is higher in

Diet-friendly answer: False. Eating regular meals helps keep your fatburning metabolism stoked and cravings under control.

Need proof? The National Weight Control Registry— a research project that tracks 10,000 people who have lost at least 30 pounds and kept them off—found that about 80 percent of successful dieters eat breakfast every day.

Which “grab and go” snack packs the most calories? (a) A Kit Kat (four bars) (b) A bottled “Green Machine” smoothie (15.2 oz) (c) A Jamba Juice Strawberry Whirl smoothie (16 oz) Diet-friendly answer: (b). Surprised? A Kit Kat has 210 calories, but one bottle of Naked’s “Green

Machine” contains the equivalent of almost three apples, half a banana, a third of a kiwi, and a third of a mango, adding up to 280 calories. “Fruit is healthy, but that’s more than you would ever eat in one sitting,” says Beller. The Jamba Juice has 220 calories. The lesson: Pay attention to calories per serving, even in nutritious foods.

6

True or false: Dieters should get up early to hit the gym—even if it means skimping on sleep.

Diet-friendly answer: False. If you have to choose between exercising and getting fewer than six hours of shut-eye, you may want to skip the gym. Reams of research have shown that lack of sleep causes imbalances in hunger hormones that may lead to weight gain and obesity. Instead of cutting your rest short, sneak in smaller periods of exercise throughout the day by doing quick sets of strength moves like pushups and crunches before and after work and taking a brisk walk during lunch.

7

True or false: When trying to shed pounds, it’s better to eat too few calories than too many.

Diet-friendly answer: False. Eating too little can actually slow your metabolism. “I had a client who ate only egg whites for breakfast and lunch and was so frustrated that she couldn’t lose weight,” says Beller. “Her metabolism had slowed down dramatically after weeks of being deprived.”

Actor Portrayal

JANUVIA works to lower blood sugar in 2 ways. Talk to your doctor about JANUVIA today.

Decreases Sugar Made In Liver

" #$%!

JANUVIA

" #$%!

JANUVIA (jah-NEW-vee-ah) should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or with diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine). If you have had pancreatitis (inammation of the pancreas), it is not known if you have a higher chance of getting it while taking JANUVIA.

Serious side effects can happen in people who take JANUVIA, including pancreatitis, which may be severe and lead to death. Before you start taking JANUVIA, tell your doctor if you’ve ever had pancreatitis. Stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away if you have pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that is severe and will not go away. The pain may be felt going from your abdomen through to your back. The pain may happen with or without vomiting. These may be symptoms of pancreatitis.

Do not take JANUVIA if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including sitagliptin.

Symptoms of serious allergic reactions to JANUVIA, including rash, hives, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat that may cause difďŹ culty breathing or swallowing, can occur. If you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away. a

Kidney problems, sometimes requiring dialysis, have been reported.

If you take JANUVIA with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), such as a sulfonylurea or insulin, your risk of getting low blood sugar is higher. The dose of your sulfonylurea medicine or insulin may need to be lowered while you use JANUVIA. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, confusion, irritability, hunger, fast heartbeat, sweating, and feeling jittery.

Your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment with JANUVIA to see how well your kidneys are working. Based on these results, your doctor may change your dose of JANUVIA. The most common side effects of JANUVIA are upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and headache.

Call 1-888-JANUVIA or visit www.Januvia.com.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Before: Lawn is an eyesore! Grass is brown, dead or dying, with many bare spots and weeds.

I teach at a public high school.

Our administrator has been pressuring us to “pad the grades.” For example, he says students should be given “50” no matter how low they score on an assignment. His argument is that on the five-point GPA scale, A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, and F=0, so the same ratio should apply to percentage grades. Many teachers at my school would be indebted to you if you could help prove him wrong. —Name withheld, Baltimore

Nice try, Mr. Administrator!

First, you can’t justify modifying the grading scale at your school unless other schools follow suit. (And if they do, you won’t improve your school’s standing.)

That said, let’s look at the proposal’s logic. It implies that percentage grades should be the same as letter grades, as though 90 to 100 percent is an A, 80 to 89 percent is a B, 70 to 79 percent is a C, 60 to 69 percent is a D, and 50 to 59 percent is an F. But an F represents the entire range below the grade of D, which is 0 to 59 percent (or often 0 to 64 percent).

A grade of 65 is a reasonable standard for passing a test. (The student has grasped about two-thirds of the material.) But with this proposal, 50 of those 65 points would be freebies when totaling test scores to determine an overall letter grade.

WALTER SCOTT ASKS…

KERI RUSSELL The actress, 36, stars as an undercover KGB spy in the 1980s-set drama The Americans (FX, Wednesdays).

You play a spy in the days before the Internet and mobile phones. Could you survive a week without technology? Definitely! I’m never on my cell phone. I don’t even know why I have one. It’s been fun to go back to this period of time. The actors who play my kids had never seen a rotary phone before!

You’ve taken breaks throughout your career.

Q: Does Nicholas Sparks have a say in who is cast in the movie versions of his novels? —Kristy Wall, St. Paul, Minn.

A: “Of course! I’m certainly one of the collaborators on

working hard, but my life outside of my career is equally important to me. Maybe I’m not ambitious enough, but I’m just as interested in my friends and my relationship with my family.

What has been the best change in your life since becoming a mother? [Russell and her husband, Shane Deary, are parents to son River, 5, and daughter Willa, 1.] You instantly become less selfish. You can’t be the biggest person in the world anymore— they are. It really grounds you.

Q: Is Christopher Walken as eccentric in real life as the characters he’s portrayed? —Nathan Rease, Hobbs, N.M. A: “I’ve played a lot of strange, troubled, and sometimes destructive people, but before I got into the movies, I was a singerdancer and did musical comedy,” says the actor, 69. “People get mixed up with the parts I play, but I’m really a very conservative guy. I’ve been married for almost 50 years and I lead a quiet life.” Walken stars in the crime comedy Stand Up Guys, out now.

Q: How is the location for the Super Bowl determined each year? —Mike E., Fredericksburg, Va. A: NFL cities bid to play host. The league’s owners vote on sites (usually at least three years in advance) and base their selection on criteria like stadium quality, guest accommodations, and, to a lesser extent, weather.

New Orleans will host its 10th Super Bowl today, the first since Hurricane Katrina; next year’s game will be held at MetLife Stadium (home to the New York Giants and Jets) in East Rutherford, N.J.

HOW WE PICKED THE TEAM: In selecting the All-America Team, PARADE contributor Brian McLaughlin, who covers college recruiting for the Sporting News, considered all-state teams, state player of the year honors, and statistics, as well as his own observations at games. Offensive players needed to show “eye-popping numbers against good competition” during their senior season and to exhibit strong college-level potential, as measured by the interest they’ve had from prominent programs, he says. As for defensive players, McLaughlin says he looked for playmakers who could change games with interceptions, sacks, tackles for loss, or blocked kicks. “They need to have had a big senior year,” he says, “and they need to be headed places.”

True or false: It’s smart to stash low-calorie snacks in case you get hungry between meals.

Diet-friendly answer: True. Waiting too many hours to eat sends your blood sugar and energy levels off a cliff, so cravings soar. If you need something between breakfast and lunch, keep it to 100 calories or less (like a stick of low-fat string cheese), suggests Beller. Afternoon snacks can be 150 to 175 calories (like an apple spread with a teaspoon of peanut butter).

4

True or false: Skipping breakfast is a good way to shave calories off your daily total.

1

It’s important to track your daily intake of: (a) Fiber (b) Carbs (c) Fat (d) All of the above Diet-friendly answer: (a). The majority of weightloss research has found that the exact number of carbohydrate or fat grams you take in isn’t as important as total calories—but tracking fiber could make a big difference, says Biggest Loser dietitian Rachel Beller, R.D., author of the new book Eat to Lose, Eat to Win. That’s because the more fiber you have, the more satisfied and full you feel, and the less you’ll

ultimately eat. Women should aim for 25 grams a day; men need 38.

2

At the grocery store, you should look for foods labeled: (a) Vegan (b) Gluten free (c) Whole grain

Diet-friendly answer: (c). Manufacturers of readymade snacks and sweets often add extra sugar and fat to make gluten-free or vegan foods as tasty as regular versions, says Beller. “Whole grain,” however, generally means that the food is higher in

Diet-friendly answer: False. Eating regular meals helps keep your fatburning metabolism stoked and cravings under control.

Need proof? The National Weight Control Registry— a research project that tracks 10,000 people who have lost at least 30 pounds and kept them off—found that about 80 percent of successful dieters eat breakfast every day.

5

Which “grab and go” snack packs the most calories? (a) A Kit Kat (four bars) (b) A bottled “Green Machine” smoothie (15.2 oz) (c) A Jamba Juice Strawberry Whirl smoothie (16 oz) Diet-friendly answer: (b). Surprised? A Kit Kat has 210 calories, but one bottle of Naked’s “Green

Machine” contains the equivalent of almost three apples, half a banana, a third of a kiwi, and a third of a mango, adding up to 280 calories. “Fruit is healthy, but that’s more than you would ever eat in one sitting,” says Beller. The Jamba Juice has 220 calories. The lesson: Pay attention to calories per serving, even in nutritious foods.

6

True or false: Dieters should get up early to hit the gym—even if it means skimping on sleep.

Diet-friendly answer: False. If you have to choose between exercising and getting fewer than six hours of shut-eye, you may want to skip the gym. Reams of research have shown that lack of sleep causes imbalances in hunger hormones that may lead to weight gain and obesity. Instead of cutting your rest short, sneak in smaller periods of exercise throughout the day by doing quick sets of strength moves like pushups and crunches before and after work and taking a brisk walk during lunch.

7

True or false: When trying to shed pounds, it’s better to eat too few calories than too many.

Diet-friendly answer: False. Eating too little can actually slow your metabolism. “I had a client who ate only egg whites for breakfast and lunch and was so frustrated that she couldn’t lose weight,” says Beller. “Her metabolism had slowed down dramatically after weeks of being deprived.”

Actor Portrayal

JANUVIA works to lower blood sugar in 2 ways. Talk to your doctor about JANUVIA today.

Decreases Sugar Made In Liver

" #$%!

JANUVIA

" #$%!

JANUVIA (jah-NEW-vee-ah) should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or with diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine). If you have had pancreatitis (inďŹ&#x201A;ammation of the pancreas), it is not known if you have a higher chance of getting it while taking JANUVIA.

Serious side effects can happen in people who take JANUVIA, including pancreatitis, which may be severe and lead to death. Before you start taking JANUVIA, tell your doctor if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had pancreatitis. Stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away if you have pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that is severe and will not go away. The pain may be felt going from your abdomen through to your back. The pain may happen with or without vomiting. These may be symptoms of pancreatitis.

Do not take JANUVIA if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including sitagliptin.

Symptoms of serious allergic reactions to JANUVIA, including rash, hives, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat that may cause difďŹ culty breathing or swallowing, can occur. If you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away. a

Kidney problems, sometimes requiring dialysis, have been reported.

If you take JANUVIA with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), such as a sulfonylurea or insulin, your risk of getting low blood sugar is higher. The dose of your sulfonylurea medicine or insulin may need to be lowered while you use JANUVIA. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, confusion, irritability, hunger, fast heartbeat, sweating, and feeling jittery.

Your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment with JANUVIA to see how well your kidneys are working. Based on these results, your doctor may change your dose of JANUVIA. The most common side effects of JANUVIA are upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and headache.

Call 1-888-JANUVIA or visit www.Januvia.com.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Before: Lawn is an eyesore! Grass is brown, dead or dying, with many bare spots and weeds.

I teach at a public high school.

Our administrator has been pressuring us to “pad the grades.” For example, he says students should be given “50” no matter how low they score on an assignment. His argument is that on the five-point GPA scale, A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, and F=0, so the same ratio should apply to percentage grades. Many teachers at my school would be indebted to you if you could help prove him wrong. —Name withheld, Baltimore

Nice try, Mr. Administrator!

First, you can’t justify modifying the grading scale at your school unless other schools follow suit. (And if they do, you won’t improve your school’s standing.)

That said, let’s look at the proposal’s logic. It implies that percentage grades should be the same as letter grades, as though 90 to 100 percent is an A, 80 to 89 percent is a B, 70 to 79 percent is a C, 60 to 69 percent is a D, and 50 to 59 percent is an F. But an F represents the entire range below the grade of D, which is 0 to 59 percent (or often 0 to 64 percent).

A grade of 65 is a reasonable standard for passing a test. (The student has grasped about two-thirds of the material.) But with this proposal, 50 of those 65 points would be freebies when totaling test scores to determine an overall letter grade.
